to yielding my place to anyone whom It
may select. I didn't seek the chairmanship.
lld not want It, and only accepted It at a
personal sacrifice, if there Is atlythlng In
Fanning' atatement that the committee as
reorganized because certain parties desired
to get hold of the party machinery thU fall,
I do not know It. I certainly am not one
of the 'certain parties,- for 1 did not want
the place allotted to me.
"If I remember correctly, the county com
mittee was reorganized because the chair
man of the state coramltee had asked that
county committees all over the state be re
organized at once. That was the statement
made by Chairman Dunn. He mid that he
had a letter from the utate committee ask
ing that such action be taken, and you will
remember that Chairman I'. L. Hall of the
tato committee also stated In the conven
tion that h- hari r. , . ... L ... i

ine suggestion of the national committee.
It bad no reference especially to Douglas
county, but applied to all counties In the
state, and many of the other counties have
reorganized their committees no that there
will bo no necessity of changing after the
work of the approaching national campaign
la partially done.
o VncHiiey KiInIIiir,
"There Is nothing, as far as I can see, in
Mr. Fannlng's assumption of the chairman
ship on the claim that Chairman Dunn re
signed and that he succeeded him by reason
of his position as chairman of the executive
committee. Mr. Dunn did not resign at
all. He simply asked that the committee
be reorganized and declared that he was
not a candidate for re-election. No resig
nation was submitted by him or accepted
by tho convention, consequently there was
no vacancy to which Fanning could possibly
lucceed.
"It does not seem to me possible that a
majority of the old committee can be In
ympathy wltu Fannlng's movement. The
call for that convention was authorized by
the signatures of a majority of the old com
mittee, thirty-two out of sixty-one com-
mltteemen. It docs not becm to me Dorfilbl
that the men ho feigned the authority for
that call can lend their countenance to any
thing in the nature of Fanning' call.
"The, new committee will take no action
1n the matter until after the state and na
tional convention."
GOING TO FACE HIS CRIME

Ine n Girl.
Earl 0. Allen, a young man formerly
employed as a window trimmer In one cf
Omaha's big stores and well known to many
people. In the city, was brought here Frliay
by Sheriff Jackson of Sioux City. Ho is
wanted thero on a charge of seduction.
About two months ago a gray haired
mother brought her only daughter, a beau
tiful and accomplished girl, to Omaha to
wed Allen, according to previous arrange
ment. They were guests at the Midland
liotel, where the ceremony was to be per
formed. The night of the wedding came
and the parlor was beautifully arranged and
decorated. The charming bride was ar
rayed, the clergyman was waiting and all
was in readiness, nut the groom came not,
for bo had broken his solemn promise and
fled from the city. The heartbroken mother
and daughter returned home to wait. They
did not alt in vain, for soon Allen was
heard of In Cripple Creek, Colo.
A wnirant for his arrent was placed in
the hands of Sheriff Jackson, who had no I
trouble In locating the much wanted young
man. He agreed to return to Iowa without
requisition papers, but balked when be
reached Omaha, declaring that be would
rather die In his tracks than to cross the
rlrer and face a Judge and Jury. The sheriff
took his prisoner to the city Jail, whero (
he wait Informed that he would be confined
therein until requisition papers could bn
secured. Then be weakened and changed
hU mind. Half an hour later he was locked
up In the Council Bluffs Jail, whero he will
be formally arrested by Sheriff Jackson
Saturday and afterwards taken to Sioux
City.

SOUTH OMAHA NEWS.
By the action of the county commis
sioners in tho matter of assessment of
property In the Fourth ward the valuation
of tbe city has been increased 3,610. mak
ing tbe total valuation U, 871,660. With this
valuation It 'will bo 'necessary for "the city
council to make a levy of at least f.5 mills.
The returns show valuations by wards as
follows:
First ward, J6SS,S2j; Second ward, M31,
736; Third ward, J264.123; Fourth ward,
IS?,67T; total, fl.874.6Gl.
Through the indifference or negligence
of Assessor Carroll of the Fourth ward no
returns were mado for the corporations
this year and it became necessary for tbe
county commissioners to take tbe matter In
hand. An increase over tbe 1SH9 assess
ment wa made In nearly every case. Here
are the figures: Cudahy Packing company.
t::,r.5.r., increase, $3,100; Hammond Packing
company, I10.S36, increase. fl.&06; Omaha
Packing company. $9,300, Increase, $1,5S0;
Villon Stock Yards National bank, t.'fi.-
427, lnrrcasc. $ 1,427; Union Stock Yards,
company, $11 .319. increase, $2,999. In 1899
the Omaha Cooperage company was assessed
at $5,000 and this year the commissioners
reduced the amount to $1,443. A great deal
of property belonging to the South Omaha
Land company was reduced, the total re
duction for tbo ward being $4,71fi. In spite
of tbe reductions tho lncreaso over a year
ago is $3,610.
With tbe estimated expense of $108,000
for tbe flbcal year it will most likely be
necessary to raise $95,000 by taxation and
this means a levy of not less than 55 mills.
The rity council will meet on July 2 for
the purpose of making tho levy.
President Adklns' Coir Today.
The bearing of quo warranto proceedings

winning the case. Mr. Adklns has been

to oust him was started for the purpose of

Is thought that the scheme will fall flat on
account of the position taken by the de

Not since The Bee's annual vacation con
test began, three weeks ago, has the Interest
aroused been so Intense as at the present
moment, when the first decisive tcet of the
relative voting strength of candidates is to
be made In the special contest for tbe John
Rudd diamond ring, to be given to the can
didate having the largest number of votes
This special contest will close this evening at
S o'clock for votes depesited in The Bee
office ballot box and at 9 o'clock for votes
received by mall latter to be taken from
postoffice at that hour by a Bee messenger
Voting yesterday was somewhat heavier
than the previous day and a few changes
In rank resulted, but in tbe main tho
halting of many of the contestants was
quite noticeable.
Omaha's (-elect six have retained their
full degree of excluslvenecs, though a slight
Jar disturbed Its equilibrium sufficiently to
raise Misses Miller and Stlllwell to second
and third In rank.
In South Nebraska Miss Mable C. Russell
of David City very nearly captured the first
place, being less than two-score of votes
behind.
There is much conjecture whether tbe dia
mond ring to be given will go to Omaha
or Grand Island, where the highest scores
now are, and it is not Impossible a dark
horso may spring up elsewhere where least
expected and capture tbe trophy.
Tho following is the score up to 8 o'clock
p. m. Friday. June 29.

"Before my marriage I used Dr Williams' Pink Pill for Pale People
with good result in building up and purifying my blood and when the
doctors gae tne up, 1 decided to ghe the pills a trial, although, the
